Modern Architecture in Blackheath

Blackheath Society member and local architect Ana Sutherland will lead a guided tour of the Cator Estate, covering Eric Lyons' Span estates (built from 1954 to 1984) and unique modernist homes designed by architects Patrick Gwynne, Peter Moro and Walter Greaves. Together they form a unique group of architectural treasures that contributes to the rich historic fabric of the area. As Ian Nairn described in1966, the impact of Span and other modern houses' addition to Blackheath Park: "The original leafy layout has received another dimension, absent from almost everywhere else in London: the exhilaration of new and old together when both are good."

Meet at the corner of Blackheath Park with Lee Road (by Cator Estate gates).  To book a place on the walk, please use the Open House website.
